What is the typical age of onset for Tourette Syndrome?

Tourette Syndrome typically manifests in childhood, with most cases beginning to show symptoms before the age of 10. Specifically, many individuals may start experiencing tics around the ages of 5 to 7. While Tourette can continue to develop and persist into later years, the hallmark of the disorder is its onset during childhood. Therefore, the most accurate choice regarding the typical age of onset for Tourette Syndrome is before age 10. Options regarding onset age after that, such as before 15, 18, or 21, may misrepresent the characteristic early nature of the condition. The focus on ages older than 10 might imply that onset can be expected later, which is not supported by the majority of clinical findings related to this syndrome.
